The walls in this room are light blue. It’s a long narrow room with comfortable looking
chairs placed along both the right and the left hand walls.
There are twelve chairs on each side of this room. In the
middle of this room between the rows of chairs are two long counters and a small refrigerator.
Each of the twelve chairs
has a small fold up table on each arm. On one side of each chair is a portable IV rack.
Some of the IV racks have
one or more IV bags with IV tubes hanging from them. The IV tubes run from the IV bags into either the arm or the abdomen
of the person sitting in the chair next to the IV rack.
Some of the IV bags are filled with clear liquid and some are
filled with a milky colored liquid.
Some of the people in the chairs have gray hair and some of the people in the chairs
have no hair at all.
I am sitting in this room. I have my own IV rack. My IV rack has its own IV bag and IV tube. The
IV tube leads out of my arm.
Many of the people sitting in these chairs come back once a week to sit in these chairs.
This is my second visit to this room.
They won’t let me smoke while I’m in this room.
This room
is called the Providence Cancer Center’s Chemotherapy room.
Do you get the picture? Dont smoke!
